Angel Studios, the streaming and distribution company behind the low-budget drama, claims that the film has generated more than $10 million in pre-sales ahead of its theatrical release on July 4. That’s an impressive number for a movie that isn’t relying on a glossy big studio marketing campaign.
“Sound of Freedom” will play in 2,600 locations. It is based on the true story of Tim Ballard , a former US government agent who quit his job to rescue children from global sex traffickers. Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino and Emmy-nominee Bill Camp co-star.‘s Owen Gleiberman wrote, “Let’s assume that, like me, you’re a right-wing fundamentalist conspiracy theorist looking for a dark, faith-based suspense film to see over the holiday weekend.
Based out of Provo, Utah, Angel Studios uses crowd-funding to make its movies and shows — a previous project, “The Chosen,” raised more than $40 million from contributors and centers on the life of Jesus. Angel Studios emerged from the ashes of VidAngel, a streaming service that filtered objectionable content from movies before it was sued into bankruptcy by major Hollywood studios for copyright violations.
